What will be difference between cylindrical die punching and Dextra?

Cylinder presses were originally built for letterpress printing and later it was used for die cutting. Platen will be in cylinder form and die will be in flat form. difficult for the operator to reach the die chase for make ready, leading to physical fatigue and longer make ready time. Due to foil diameter, foil role change frequency will be more and reduce the productive time. Productive speed is questionable. Dextra is exclusively designed for Die cutting, creasing, embossing and hot foil stamping process. Both the die and platen are in flat form. Better register accuracy. Better productivity, due to higher pile height of feeder and delivery pile change time loss can be minimized. Suitable for processing wide range of substrates.

What is the difference between cam indexer system and servo drive system?

Cam indexer is the mechanical drive system and servo drive system is electronic driven system, ensure high precision positioning of the gripper bar, better registration.

What is the use of die punching machine?

A Die punching machine is primarily used for cutting, shaping, and engraving materials such as paper, fabric, leather, rubber, plastic, and metal. It involves using a die or a sharp metal blade to punch through the material, creating a desired pattern or shape. Die-punching machines are often used in manufacturing industries for producing large quantities of products or for creating intricate designs. They are commonly used for making packaging materials, labels, stickers, envelopes, book covers, and other products. Die-punching machines range from manual to fully automated and can be customized to suit specific production needs. This die punching machine is capable and designed basically for performing Die-Cutting, Creasing, Punching, and Embossing Jobs on various merchandise like Paper, Cardboard, Fibre Board, Vinyl, Foam, Rubber, Leather, Masonite, Cork Sheets, affixed Boxes, Advertising Cut out, Jigsaw Puzzles, Labels, and far more.

What is the punch-and-die method?

The action of a Punch & Die uses a solid metal piece, the “Punch” located vertically above the “Die”. The Die corresponds in size and shape to the Punch and is secured directly beneath the Punch. The Punch is usually hydraulically driven to meet the Die.

Qualities that make Autoprint DEXTRA 80 the industry-leading Automatic Flatbed Die Punching Machine

Delivery Unit- After Punching, the paper is delivered smoothly to the Delivery Unit. Automatic pile movement is assured with the Motorised Pile 'Up' and 'Down' mechanism provided. The delivery pile is automatically lowered based on the speed of the machine and controlled by a limit switch to avoid excess loading. Side and back stoppers are provided for the perfect stacking of paper.

Die Punching Unit- After registering the paper in the Front Lay, the sheet is fed into the Die Punching Unit with the help of the Rigid Grippers. The Gripper in-feed Mechanism is servo-driven for precise positioning of paper in the Die Punching Unit. The Die Punching Unit applies uniform pressure on the paper and ensures precise punching as per the desired profile. The chase turn-over mechanism enables easy removal of the Die Unit and quick change-over for the next job. These gripper assemblies are positioned precisely by register mechanism to accommodate variation in chain length due to near.

Centralized Touch Screen Control Panel- The Autoprint DEXTRA 80 has a soft feather touch PLC Control Panel. The advanced technology incorporated with pre-programmable software does the functions sequentially with just the touch of a button. Various controls are indicated in the Digital display of the control panel for convenience in operation. The touch screen is equipped with a maintenance program where periodically the operator is reminded of any maintenance to be performed.

Double Sheet and Crossfeed Sensor- Double Sheet Detector and Cross Feed Sensors are provided to prevent the feeding of any excess or cross sheet into the Punching Unit. When this happens, the sheet feeding stops instantly and a warning message appears on the Touch Screen Panel.

Stream Feeder- Autoprint DEXTRA 80 has a Stream Feeding System, which ensures continuous sheet feeding of a wide range of paper stocks from 0.1 to 0.6mm with ease. Its suction device separates and lifts the paper precisely from the tail-end, while the mechanical device feeds the paper into the Register Board through pull-in rollers, continuously as a stream. The Flat Bed Die Punching machine is equipped with Motorised Pile for smooth 'Up' and 'Down' movement. The feeder table is equipped with a Pre-pile facility for loading paper stocks on the second pile, while the machine is running. This reduces the downtime of the Flat Bed Die Punching machine, increasing productivity.

Register Board- The Conveyor Board is provided with adequate runners, brush rollers, and paper guides to ensure smooth and trouble-free feeding of stock from thin paper to thick board ranging from 0.1 to 0.6 mm. A Pull Type Side Lay on both sides ensures precise registration of the paper. The Front Lay is adjustable for cross up to +1.5 mm and front register up to 3 - 8 mm precisely.

FAQ

What will be the make ready time for manual die punching

Approx 2hours (depends on the complexity of the die cutting job and substrate)

What is flat bed die cutting machine?

Flatbed die cutting is a type of die cutting that utilizes custom-designed steel rule dies affixed to a flatbed press to convert metal and non-metal material. Flatbed die presses are available in mechanical, hydraulic, and electric models and have configurations that vary from application to application.

What is the difference between a rotary die cut and a flatbed die cut?

Flatbed die cutting: As its name implies, a hydraulic flatbed press pushes down blades that cut material to the desired shape. Rotary die cutting: A cylindrical die, with blades around the entire cylinder, cuts shapes out of the material, moving in a circular motion.

What are the different types of die-cut machines?

Three of the most popular types of die-cutting methods include flatbed die cutting, rotary die cutting, and waterjet cutting
